Pros

-Sounds great-Fun to type with-Looks very clean

Cons-Makes me want to type all the time

SummaryGreat keyboard, going on for my second one now. Love working with it. Won't go back to a non mechanical anytime soon. Filco is great quality. I went with the colored asdw key set as well, looks good!

Pros

Very light switchesNice keycapsMuted caps lock LED lightFilco quality

ConsNone

SummaryMy preferred switches for gaming - I also have cherry black and buckling spring keyboards. The light actuation force is great for quick, repeated key taps and noticeably less tiring than black switches.

Also nice to see that Filco has started incorporating the red switches into their regular production line (and that NCIX carries them).

Pros

SummaryI currently own a Das Keyboard with Cherry MX Browns and this. I purchased this for gaming.

Compared to the Das, a 104 keyboard, this thing seems to weight a lot more. It is extremely sturdy. The Das is well built, but this feels even more solid in comparison. Keycaps are textured and feel nice, but I'm sure that over time they will become smooth like my Das.

Comparing Reds to Browns, I have to say, it is a personal preference. I do enjoy typing on the Browns, but after doing some typing tests online, I do not have any significant drop or improvement in accuracy or speed with the Reds. Still if you were to buy this for typing, I would definitely go for Browns or Blues.

I also tested this for some FPS play and it is responsive and solid. The keyboard doesn't move around when I play and it definitely beats my Razer Nostromo. The keys feel light and don't require much force to actuate. Depending on your play style, you may want to use Blacks if you surf your keys. Otherwise, the low actuation force reduce the onset of fatigue compared to the blacks.

The usb cable is a bit short - 3 ft. only, so this might not be helpful if your computer is far away. It would've been nice if it had either a detachable cable or a 6ft cable.

If you have the money, definitely get this, but if not, I would definitely go with the Das Keyboard.

NINJA is a whole new concept keyboard. New style of letter printing - front
printing.The biggest feature of this front printing is this new look that
gives a look of "almost" a blank keycap keyboard.This means, printed letters can be seen only from a user and it
is seen as a blank keycaps keyboard from others.This untraditional printing method does not expose you for fading
letters on keycapsas there are no letters on top face where you actually touch to
cause a friction when you type in.You will never feel stress from fading letters that would make
your keyboard crummy.On the other hand, as the feature of this keyboard, front
printing, is hard to look at the letters.This NINJA is perfect for the users who are confident in touch
typing and also for users whofeel total blank keycaps keyboard is a bit of a challenge.To make it match to our concept, we omitted the indicators of
"Lock, Num, Caps, Scroll" on LED.Also logo is different from normal lineups to go with the concept
and in this way, this keyboard looks "almost" completely black!

basic functions have improved!]

soldered.With this, it can release any excess load or vibration that you
make when you type in to a board not only to a metal plate inside.It enables you to enjoy a better typing feel!We also brought the rate of its data transfer for PC to the
highest which provides you faster response.This function as well as N-key rollover meet for the professional
gamers.
